Dion - Your Own Back Yard lyrics

rate me

I've been sitting here, thinking<br />

About when I started in drinking<br />

I went on to dope<br />

It surely did change my life<br />

<br />

I cried a tear in a beer for me<br />

I lost everything near and dear to me<br />

Mainly my children and my wife<br />

<br />

My idea of having a good time<br />

Was sitting with my head<br />

Between my knees<br />

<br />

I knew everything there was to know<br />

Everything except which way to go<br />

I cried, oh, God, take me<br />

Will you, please<br />

<br />

Many a time<br />

I swore up and down<br />

I didn't need any of this junk<br />

That was going round<br />

<br />

I can quit<br />

Let me finish what I got<br />

After all, this stuff<br />

Sure costs a lot<br />

Then I'll get my feet<br />

Back on the ground<br />

<br />

I can't tell nobody<br />

How to live their life<br />

Even though inside<br />

We're all the same<br />

<br />

All those things are toys<br />

I was playing with<br />

You know we're all losers<br />

In that game<br />

<br />

Now since I've been straight<br />

I haven't been in my cups<br />

I'm not shooting downs<br />

I'm not using ups<br />

<br />

You know I'm still<br />

As crazy as a loon<br />

Even though I don't run out<br />

And cop a spoon<br />

But thank the good lord<br />

God, I had enough<br />

<br />

Now, I got a friend<br />

His name is Richard Grands<br />

He says you don't need<br />

To be stoned to grow a friend<br />

<br />

Believe me<br />

You're all beautiful people<br />

Just the way you are<br />

Tell me, what has that<br />

Stuff done for you so far, yeah<br />

<br />

I've been sitting here thinking<br />

Been winking, I been blinking<br />

I don't have to sit around<br />

No more and nod<br />

<br />

I can do anything<br />

That I wanna do<br />

I do it straight<br />

I do it so much better too<br />

And it's, it's gotta start<br />

Right in your own backyard<br />

<br />

I said it's gotta start<br />

Right in your own backyard<br />

You know everybody has<br />

Their own beautiful backyard<br />

<br />

You might have oil wells<br />

In your own back yard<br />

Yeah, your own backyard...
